Passionate environmentalists needed for the National Puerto Rican Day Parade on Sunday, June 11 th starting at 10:30am. GrowNYC’s Zero Waste Programs volunteers will march within the parade route alongside the Puerto Rico Chapter of the Sierra Club, and celebrate with a crowd of 2 million spectators along Fifth Avenue from 44th Street to 79th Street.
We’ll be collecting empty beverage bottles and other recyclables from the parade audience, spreading the recycling word, turning heads, and being thanked for doing something so good. You won't want to miss this opportunity to march in one of the largest parades in the country!
We’re dedicated to educating parade goers on the importance of environmental stewardship by demonstrating a visible presence at the parade. We believe everyone can make a difference and we rely on dedicated volunteers who are interested in inspiring others.
